A real, direct Hurricane Ida hit (2021)
Hurricane Ida struck LaPlace directly in 2021, with 150-mph winds at landfall statewide. LaPlace's own aging water system failed repeatedly (18 outages affecting 312,000+ people regionally, 14 boil-water advisories affecting 329,000+), and roughly 800 people were rescued from flooded homes parish-wide.
A defining geographic exposure
LaPlace sits literally straddled between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain -- a real, defining geography that concentrates both flood and storm-surge risk directly at LaPlace's doorstep.
